D.A.F.T. Related events & participants: THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL in Trollhättan

Fred Lindberg started THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL as a society and network of contemporary artists in London 2005. The thought behind these art events was to put people and ideas together rather than single pieces of art. To create a foundation for collaborations. In 1937 Hitler exhibited “Entartete Kunst”, 1962 came Fluxus events like “The Festival of Misfits” and today our Art is striving to exist in-between being singled out as a degenerate, or choosing to be a misfit.

(deviant)Artists: Frog Morris



Frog Morris is an artist, poet and performer from the small rural village of Blo’ Norton in the east of England. He is an artist in the broadest most contemporary sense of the word where art can be anything from video to poetry to rock festivals. His work takes many forms, not all of them readily recognised in the hierarchy of art. He has recently been making a name for himself performing songs, poems and stories in the fashionable art galleries of East London in his own unique style. Frog Morris’s work wanders between moments of acclaimed comedy and painful pathetic pathos as he agitates audiences into a profound sense of bemusement. The artist will be running a poetry workshop on Wednesday 25th from 12-16.00 after which he’ll be performing his art poetry with Swedish poet Johan Lindblom on the Deviant Art Festivals Poetry Night.
